Lateral frontoparietal functional connectivity based on individual sulcal morphology

Former postdoc Suvi Hakkinen, colleague Kevin Weiner, and Silvia have
submitted a new manuscript that explores fine-grained functional
connectivity in relation to cortical sulci. Sulci are a salient but
understudied feature of the human brain that are related to both
cognition (as Kevin Weiner and Silvia have shown in prior studies, in
relation to reasoning ability).

Illuminating the Brain Consortium

Profs. Fei Xu, Keanan Joyner, and Bunge are launching the Illuminating the Brain Consortium – a community of researchers who will be using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to study the neural basis of cognition in early childhood, across diverse populations, and/or in naturalistic settings.

Newly published textbook on developmental cognitive neuroscience!

This book features learning objectives, review questions, PPT slides, a test bank for instructors, as well as videos of interviews with scientists featured in the book. It is designed for upper-level undergraduates and more advanced trainees, and anyone else who wants a deep dive into this burgeoning field of the brain basis of cognitive and socioemotional development from infancy through adolescence.
It’s available for free online through universities (including UC Berkeley) that subscribe to Cambridge University Press books.
